I woke up early this morning, so had a little time to myself. I decided that looking in to open-source personal finance tools would be a productive use of that time. Why? Who knows? The strongest candidate may be Actual Budget (GitHub / Website). Although, trying to get my head around

I used to enjoy monitoring and alerting thoroughly during my time on a systems team. Making use of Nagios, Icinga, Graylog, and implementing UNINETTNAV. In fact, I think NAV was, by far, one of my favourite and most enjoyable projects that is still in use over 8 years later. I

Friday, finally. Although it hasn't been a bad week, overall. But it's always a pleasure to see the end arrive. Where work moves aside, and a bit of time for my hobbies takes the spotlight. Hopefully. One large item on the agenda for tomorrow, however, is

I know, it's all over your feeds, your inbox, probably in your ears, too. But there's really only one thing worth talking about today. And that's the hardware release announcement for the new Steam hardware. I awoke this morning to this absolute mic drop

After not renewing my NFL GamePass subscription with DAZN this year, I've also taken an interest in the CFL. I'm not going to lie, it's been fantastically entertaining. I decided to concentrate my time on the BC Lions, mainly because I just love the

I'm writing this one much later than I wanted to again, but time got away from me. That seems to happen much more often these days. Before I know it, the day is gone, and I haven't achieved half of what I planned to. During the

I've been working from home full-time now since the beginning of the pandemic. It's changed a little during that time, but for the most part, has remained the same. I think it's time for an update. I've spent some time this weekend

A while ago, I backed the Ex Novo Kickstarter, and today it arrived. Ex Novo is “a playable city-generator that helps you construct fictional cities and their turbulent histories.” The pre-print PDF was released some time ago, and I spent a little time with it then. I was looking forward

It is most definitely time to do this again. I need something to push me back into regular writing. Most days will likely be pointless waffle. Like this. But there may be an occasional nugget of interest. So why did I stop posting so much? Many reasons, really. Although the

It has been far too long since I last posted on my blog, and for those of you that follow my RSS feed, brace yourself for low quality content once again. For me, this time of year is just relentless work-wise. Short deadlines with lofty requirements fly in from all
